The Regent's Little Wife

The guardian said somewhat unhappily, "Miss Rumeng, no one in the demon world is good. Miss Rumeng, why do you always speak well of the demon world? Do you know anyone in the demon world?"

Ru Meng frowned slightly and explained carefully and meticulously: "I don't mean to know anyone from the demon world, but I want to explain a fact: no matter which realm, good and evil coexist. We can't generalize and regard all of them as evil just because they were born in the demon world."

At this time, Yuan Qi noticed that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, and hurriedly stepped forward to mediate: "Meng Meng, you may not have understood it deeply. The demon world has always been notorious. They have ruthlessly taken the lives of many innocent people in the world of cultivation. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to find a good person in the demon world."

Rumeng was still stubborn, pouted her lips and retorted: "Perhaps some people were forced to enter the gate of the demon world? They may have their own unspeakable secrets and could not help themselves." Seeing this, Yuan Qi gently stroked Rumeng's hair and comforted her in a gentle tone: "Mengmeng, you are still young and know very little about the disputes between the demon world and the immortal world. When you grow up, you will naturally understand the complexity and truth. Today's meeting has come to this point. I hope everyone will stay vigilant to prevent the demon world from invading again."

It was late at night, Si Ning was lying on the bed, about to fall asleep, when she heard a commotion outside the window, mixed with shouts of "Catch the assassin". She couldn't help but wonder what was going on. At this critical moment, a black shadow suddenly broke into Si Ning's room like a ghost.

Si Ning jumped up from the bed, stared at the strange man in front of her vigilantly, and asked in a sharp tone: "Who are you? What are you going to do?" She tightly grasped the quilt in her hands, ready to fight back at any time.

The assassin Leng Gufei placed a sharp sword on Si Ning's neck with an expressionless face and said coldly: "Don't talk, or I will kill you!"

Si Ning frowned, looked at the assassin helplessly and said, "Why are you so fierce? How come you can't even speak?" She tried to communicate with the assassin, but the other party didn't seem to appreciate it.

The assassin's face was as pale as paper, and blood was dripping from the wounds on his body, but he still persisted. His eyes were full of murderous intent, as if he would immediately attack if Si Ning dared to say one more word.

Si Ning noticed the assassin's injuries and couldn't help but feel a little worried. He couldn't help but say, "Hey, hey, you're injured. You need treatment quickly..."

After hearing this, the assassin raised his lips slightly and sneered: "Why are you so talkative as a hostage? This is the first time I've seen such a talkative hostage. Stop talking nonsense and go away!" He pressed the tip of the sword against Si Ning's throat, and the threat was evident in his words.

Si Ning was not afraid at all, instead he chuckled: "Oh, so you want me to be a hostage, you should just surrender. My eldest brother is the one with the highest magic and cultivation in the world of immortal cultivation. You are definitely not his opponent. I guess these injuries on your body, if I'm not mistaken, should be caused by him, right?"

She raised her chin provocatively, her eyes gleaming with confidence. Despite being held hostage, Si Ning remained calm and composed, and even managed to tease the other party.

The assassin took Ru Meng out of the house and came to a corner. From a distance, he saw Yuan Qi and his men looking for the assassin.

At this time, Yuan Qi saw Rumeng in front of the assassin. He shouted nervously: "Mengmeng...that's the assassin, come to me quickly!"

Rumeng turned around and whispered to the assassin behind her: "Put the sword on my neck!"

The assassin understood Rumeng's intention and immediately put the sword on Rumeng's neck and shouted, "Don't come over, or I will kill her!"

Yuan Qi shouted nervously: "Leng Gufei...you are so brave, just try to touch him!"

Leng Gufei sneered and said, "She is in my hands now. I can negotiate with you now. If you step back and let me go, I will never hurt her!"

Yuan Qi frowned and said, "Okay, it's a deal, I'll let you go!"

Leng Gufei escaped from Lingyun Sect with Rumeng, but as time went by, Leng Gufei gradually lost strength and the spells he cast became slower and slower.

Rumeng's brows revealed some worry. She sighed and said softly, "We have come a long way. If your injuries are not treated, even if you escape, you will inevitably fall into danger due to excessive blood loss."

Hearing this, Leng Gufei sneered, his voice carrying a hint of sarcasm: "I know my physical condition better than anyone else. Your concern at this moment is just an opportunity to delay time so that your eldest brother from the Lingyun Sect has a chance to come to rescue, right?"

Ru Meng couldn't help but laugh when she heard that. She shook her head and retorted, "Oh, you really judge others by your own standards. Look at me, although I am not an expert in martial arts, I am also proficient in magic. If I want to escape, how can you, who are so weak now, stop me?"

Leng Gufei's eyes turned cold, and his tone became more sinister: "I don't need the hypocritical sympathy of you self-proclaimed righteous people. Haven't you always regarded our demon world as a scourge? Now that I'm seriously injured, isn't it a good time for you to kill me? Why are you still hesitating? I tell you, even if I'm dying, you can't hurt me at all. You'd better behave yourself and follow me closely, otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make you shut up forever."

Ru Meng smiled bitterly and muttered to herself, "This person is so moody. He was calm one moment and turbulent the next. It has come to this. What's the point of saying all this? I'm just worried about you."

Before she finished her words, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded from behind. Rumeng was startled: "How could the people from Lingyun Sect come so quickly?"

Leng Gufei sneered even more: "Why, this result is not to your liking?"

Ru Meng shook her head helplessly and urged anxiously: "You and I have no time to argue, why don't we find a way to get out of here quickly. If you are caught by them, you will be in great danger."

Leng Gufei finally stopped laughing and cursing, cast a spell, and rushed away like an arrow from a bow. Half an incense stick of time seemed to pass in the blink of an eye, and they finally got rid of Lingyun Sect's pursuit.

Rumeng looked at Leng Gufei's pale face and the wound that was constantly bleeding, and her worries grew even worse: "Are you...are you okay? The wound is still bleeding."

Gu Fei held his breath and threatened fiercely: "Why are you so talkative, prisoner? If you keep talking, do you believe I will kill you right now?"

Ru Meng didn't take it seriously, instead she smiled and said, "It's already this hour, and you're still trying to be brave. Let me take a look at your injuries, I know some medical skills, maybe I can help you."

Leng Gufei was stunned when he heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "You know medicine?...You..." Before he finished speaking, he fainted due to exhaustion.

Rumeng called out hurriedly: "Hey, hey, wake up! How come you fainted while talking?" Although she knew that Leng Gufei might be an unforgivable evildoer from the demon world, her inner kindness and sense of responsibility prevented her from abandoning him.

At this moment, Leng Gufei suddenly opened his eyes, his tone still cold: "You are such a fool, you didn't even run when I fainted."

Ru Meng smiled bitterly and responded, "I won't run away. I won't take advantage of you before you recover. Besides, I believe my eldest brother will come to save me."
